1. Discuss the history of networking.


Answer:
The history of networking is a fascinating journey from simple
communication methods to the complex, global systems we rely on today. Here’s
a brief overview of its evolution:
Early Communication: Prior to the invention of digital networking, most
forms of communication were conducted through physical means, such as letters,
telegraphs, and telephones. One of the most important early contributions to
electronic networking was the telegraph, which Samuel Morse built in the 1830s
and which made it possible to send information across great distances practically
immediately.
The Birth of Computer Networking: In the 1960s, the concept of computer
networking began to take shape. This idea laid the groundwork for the
development of networked computing.
ARPANET and the Early Internet: The 1960s and 70s saw the creation of
ARPANET, a project funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. ARPANET,
which went live in 1969, was the first network to use packet-switching, a method
of breaking down data into smaller packets for transmission. This innovation was
crucial for the development of modern networking.
TCP/IP and the Rise of the Internet: In the 1970s and 80s, the
development of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol
(IP) provided the foundation for the Internet. These protocols allowed different
networks to communicate with each other, effectively creating a global network.
The adoption of TCP/IP in 1983 marked the official birth of the Internet.
The World Wide Web: In 1991, Tim Berners-Lee introduced the World Wide
Web, a system for accessing information on the Internet through hypertext links.
This innovation made the Internet much more accessible and user-friendly,
leading to the rapid expansion of online services and information sharing.
The Modern Internet Era: The late 1990s and 2000s saw the rise of
broadband, which dramatically increased Internet speeds and accessibility. The
advent of Wi-Fi and mobile networks further revolutionized networking, making it
possible to connect to the Internet wirelessly and on-the-go. The rise of social
media, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has since transformed
how we interact, work, and live, connecting people and devices in unprecedented
ways.

Today, networking is an integral part of daily life, underpinning everything from


communication and commerce to entertainment and education. Its history reflects
a continuous drive toward greater connectivity and efficiency, shaping the modern
digital landscape we navigate today.

2. What are the problems faced with the early communication?


Answer:
The problems faced with the early communication are speed and delay
letters had to be physically transported, which could take days, weeks, or even
months, depending on the distance and infrastructure. Also the limited access not
everyone access to early communication due to economic or social barriers.In
addition is the cost, sending messages over long distance could be expensive.
Early telegraphy and long distance phone call were often costly, limiting use to
businesses and wealthy individuals.
3. Explain the following terms:
i. Multiplexing
- Is a technique used to combine multiple signals into a single
transmission channel to optimize the use of available
bandwidth. The goal is to make efficient use of the channel
and increase its capaicity.
ii. Baseband
- It is refers to a type of signal transmission where the entire
bandwidth of the communication channel is used to transmit
a single signal at a time.
iii. Broadband
- It is refers to a type of communication that uses a wide range
of frequencies to transmit multiple signals simultaneously
over single channel.
